Server Based Slots of the Future
prostoalex writes "The slot machines of the future won't be dumb one-armed bandits anymore, CNet reports. New generation of slot machines, to be deployed in major Vegas casinos, will feature server-based gaming with games, new features and, most important, the odds being downloaded from a central server location, not determined by internal machine algorithm any more."
Netcraft confirms it. Slashdot is dying
"This site has ceased to be amusing," says one time Slashdot fanatic Kip O'Ryan. "Something that used to be fun is now about as lively as a funeral. In the past, you could come here for sometimes informative articles, and always amusing mirth-filled comments in the discussion section. Now, anything remotely funny just gets modded down as troll, and one of the world's best venues for amateur comedy is gone."
He continued, saying "The sometimes off-color and angry banter back and forth between trolls and the newbies who fed them was a great source of amusement, but has rolled over and died, just like Stephen King, Marlon Wayans, or J.K. Rowling and what a shame! Now, it is too dull to even hold my attention for two minutes. Slashdot will be sorely missed."
It is official. Slashdot it dead.
